Type of article: Article

Summary

THE MODELLING OF THE HEAT-TRANSFER PROCESS IN A PHASE-CHANGE STORAGE MEDIUM CONSISTING OF PARALLEL FLOW CHANNELS IS PRESENTED. THE MODEL DESCRIBING THE MECHANISM OF HEAT TRANSFER FROM THE PROCESS AIR STREAM TO THE SURFACE OF PHASE-CHANGE MATERIAL BY CONVECTION AND DIFFUSION OF HEAT BY CONDUCTION IN THE MEDIA CONSISTS OF COUPLED, NON-LINEAR PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS. NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS ARE USED TO STUDY THE PERFORMANCE OF PHASE-CHANGE STORAGE MEDIA DURING A SINGLE BLOW OPERATION.
